6. Anthony Barr Atlanta Falcons (4-12)COLLEGE:UCLA AGE:21 HT:6-4 WT:248 POS:OLB/DEAnalysis: Three years ago the Broncos drafted Von Miller, a move that caused many to ask whether Miller would fit in John Fox's scheme. Fox was known as a 4-3 guy, and Miller seemed well-equipped physically to be a 3-4 outside linebacker. I could hear some saying the same about this pick, but (A) great players make great systems more often than the other way around, so don't get too caught up in the whole 3-4 vs. 4-3 thing, and (B) the Falcons really need a pass-rusher. Barr gives themthat, as an explosive matchup problem on the edge who does more than disrupt the passing game. And he can certainly add weight.

I honestly don't think the Jaguars would pass up on a guy like Teddy Bridgewater. They've held out on trying to make their quarterbacks work (you know it's bad when Chad Henne is probably the best quarterback on your roster) and so I think they'll go after a no. 1 quarterback with their first pick. I don't think Clowney will fall past the Raiders though. Although weirder things have happened with the Raiders during draft day. And it is, however, still January.

I just think Barr physically has the same framework Kerney had and he is a high motor athlete as well. Barr probably is probably a bit more athletic and less brute strength than Kerney was making him more of the hybrid LB/DE than pure DE like Kerney.
